Fabian Blandford (Fred) is a teacher at Wat Sri Boen Ruang in Chiang Mai region, Thailand. He has been video'd by some Americans visiting the Wat, and has offered some talks that might be interesting to those here. Fred is a former Bhikkhu at Wat SBR, and is a good friend and teacher....a good friend as well to many at the Thai-Burma border, as he selflessly spends time and effort providing clothing and food and other necessities to the children and adults of the Shan (Burma) refugees in northern Thailand. In other words, he talks the talk, and walks the walk.
